David, we had a week on the IoW at the end of June, and we took our dog with us as always. We also travelled Red Funnel and you do not have to leave your dog in the car, they can be taken to the top deck where you can either sit outside, or there is a covered area if the weather is not too good.

The crossing only takes 45 minutes!

Hi David

We Have just returned from our summer expedition of which we spent a fantastic 3 weeks on the Isle of wight at Whitefield forest, our dog came with us and was no problem on the ferry,he came up to the top deck with us and we sat outside for the 40 min duration of the crossing.

The Island is fairly dog friendly and most resorts have a area of the beach that allows dogs even during the peak season, there area a good number of pubs/ cafes with outside covered seating areas which welcome dogs and they are allowed to travel free of charge on the Island Vectis buses.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Definately looks like the dog will cope with it.
